Today, more than 30 million people around the world have been displaced due to war and violence. Of that number, nearly 10 million refugees are children.

Torn From Home: My Life as a Refugee takes young audiences on an inspiring, hands-on journey into the extraordinary lives of children who are forced to flee their homes and seek safety in a new land. Visitors of all ages can explore what it means to be a refugee and better understand their hardships and hope for a brighter future.

This creative and educational exhibit was developed by Lied Discovery Children’s Museum through the generous support of Pierre and Pam Omidyar.
